Return to the Infant Toddler Sensory Profile Summary

Sensation Seeking - Definite Difference - Less than others

What the score means: When a child obtains this score, it means the child ‘seldom’ to ‘never’ seeks stimuli. Typically, children seek stimuli ‘frequently’ to ‘occasionally’ during everyday life.

Since all the cut scores on the Infant/ Toddler Sensory Profile are based on the normal bell curve, a ‘definitely less than others’ score means that the child less than about 98% of peers, and about the same as 2% of peers. Go to the Bell Curve illustration to see how this works.
